Haha, yeah, one of the side-effects of having worked for a number of big marketing companies is that the veil becomes lifted and you become able to see Marketing in all its various and sundry obscure and insidious forms. It's horrible. But back to the topic at hand, I know about the Music Genome Project and how it works, and I just don't buy that this is just noise in the genetic signal. There are a million (probably literally) tracks more "genetically" similar to what I've trained my Pandora station to play than Brittney Spears. Plus, if it's going to make a "mistake" why does that mistake happen to be a very heavily promoted track and not some obscure track? And there definitely is a reason to play the track --because Brittney's label very well could have bought a "run of network" placement from Pandora, and Pandora could slip that placement into all users' radio stations that feature any popular vocal music. So yeah, I don't buy it. -- rudholm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rudholm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2980 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24659 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
